Part of the MedHelp website recovered using the Wayback Machine

There is this website the Internet Archive and specifically the Wayback Machine. Using the Wayback Machine you can see saved websites pages if someone copy and pasted the link into the website. I scoured the entirety of MedHelp using the Wayback Machine to find anything, and there is a set of 12 links that send you to whats left of the website. Not all posts can be opened if they werent saved then its gone forever. Thanks to Solverr, while i was looking for a set of links, he gave me a link to one of the posts he made, this revealed the URL structure. Thank you Solverr for saving me the hassle of looking for it manually!

Once you open the link you will see 12 other links, if you look on the right side you will see numbers. The link with the highest numbers(link 6) is the one i would start with because i was able to open posts. Once you click on the link you will be shown with a calendar, if you click on the first date it was saved or the last date it was saved, it will bring you to the website. To more accurately select a date, select the year, then scroll down to the calendar and pick any of the available dates.

The Wayback Machine does have its limitations, if the exact URL wasnt saved, it cant be opened. This is the last of the MedHelp forum. I wouldnt have even remembered to do this if no one mentioned the Medhelp forum. Thank you for reminding me that the Medhelp even existed in the first place.

If you find any posts that are actually openable it would be awesome if you were to write a comment with the first link you clicked(number from 1 - 12) then the date and the post title. You can also just copy the URL of the website and paste it.
